Stopping to Smell the Roses
When I’m back home, my allergies are horrendous. Here in Norway, they’ve been much better to the point where I can even stop and smell the roses. My allergies have been present in Norway as there is a lot of pollen this time of year here as well, but they’re significantly less severe. I enjoyed stopping to smell the roses.
Even on the worst allergy day here, I can still smell the roses and flowers as I walk by them. The fragrance of the roses, in particular, is very strong. The smell is absolutely magnificent. There is not a candle or potpourri on earth that can replicate the smell of these roses.
Not only is the aroma amazing, but the flowers on the plants are gigantic, brightly colored and numerous. Thank goodness for the close up feature on my Canon, which did a pretty good job of capturing the beautiful blooms.
